I wouldn't rush right into monetization. Take the time to really focus on your craft and build the blog up to create your audience. It's going to be exceptionally hard to monetize a platform like a blog if you people can't tell you're passionate about the content you're creating.

Solicit feedback from them! You can do this with optional surveys, or just put up a comment section and allow people to share what's on their mind. If you give the reader a space to share, they'll provide you with all of the feedback you'll need.

Expert Answer

SEO stands for search engine optimization. Basically, it's your website's ability to pop up higher in search results given certain keywords, phrases, and coding variables. You don't need to worry about it if you're just running a blog for fun, but it's definitely something you want to explore if you want to make money on your blog.

Yes you can make money. Just sign up for Google's blogger.com and create a blog. Write posts. Wait until your blog gets approved by AdSense. When your blog is approved, place some catchy ads on it to earn money.

Question

This article says I should "start with 10-15 and queue another 10-15 posts". What does that mean?

Community Answer

This means to make 10-15 articles before you officially launch the blog then keep up by posting the same amount at the same time to keep people interested.
